![]() I downloaded free LUTs from the internet and they were horrible, they did not enhance my images at all, in-fact were not usable at all. Around this same time a realized LUTs were used in Adobe Premiere Pro and I also stared using them to edit my video. I found this very interesting and I’m always exploring new editing techniques for my photography. He showed how you could stack them and blend them using Adobe Photoshop (he did not use teal & orange). ![]() I honestly don’t know who started using LUTs on digital images, but I first heard about them from a British photographer when he did a tutorial about them on his YouTube channel. Many vloggers shoot in log format everyday and using a LUT or more than one LUT allows the editor to put color back in to the video footage I a creative way.Īt this point you may be asking “how does this log video thingy relate to photography?” It relates because of a few reasons, but mostly because most DSLR cameras are hybrids that capture both video and still images. Log format is not new, it was reserved for very high-end expensive cameras, but now it is readily available on many prosumer cameras. ![]() Log format is a very flat looking style that is void of color saturation however this in-turn allows the camera to capture video in a higher dynamic range, essentially meaning more editable information in the shadows & highlights. In a nut shell it helps to tell the story the creator wanted to tell.Īt this time more and more creators are shooting video on cameras that record in logarithmic format or “log” for short. But here is the short answer LUTs are generally used to color grade video because they have the power to change one color to another and a LUT can just overall enhance a scene by conveying a look and feel to the viewer that enhances the movie, video or photo. I’m not going to go into all the details of LUTs because what a LUT actually is and how it “really” works is a topic as about as vast as the Iceberg that the Titanic hit. I feel LUTs are maybe a bigger culprit than IG. Ig is in my opinion what spawned the everyday photographer the ability and desire to apply filters and again this is not in and of its self a bad thing. ![]() So, IG is only part of the equation, there is more to the teal orange tide than just IG. Who doesn’t want to have a beautiful physically fit body without going to the gym? I don’t say that as a bad thing really, its just human nature. Essentially everybody wants to be a better photographer but without doing a lot of work. So, some IG filters are more popular than others and people love applying the filters because it gives them a quick way to edit a photo into something a little more interesting than the color profile their phone assigned to the photo as it was shot. I think by now everybody knows what IG is and how it works. Instagram or IG for short has filters for your photos. So where did the teal orange thing come from? Legend has it there was this German photographer named Berger Meister, Meister Berger that hated other photographers so much that he… Ok so of course I’m pulling your leg there but here is my opinion on where the teal orange tide came from. Now to be honest I would never hit a dog in the head with a stick, but I would whack a photographer who creates bad HDR. However, hopefully this photographer has a good enough friend who will pick up a big stick (not just any stick, but a big solid stick) and just whack them upside the head and say “don’t ever do that again.” Kind of like teaching your dog not to poop on the kitchen floor. He/she will jump into Photoshop and create the horrid mess on an image with halos and virtually no shadows and think they “really have something here” and then they run off and post it on Flickr and elsewhere. It is akin to the horrible “HDR look” that took place several years back and still happens to day when a new photographer very first discovers HDR. Most of you know what I’m talking about and I would guess there are others who have no idea what I’m talking about, so I’ll elaborate.īeit a filter or a LUT the teal to orange look has inundated the photography world, particularly on social media. As for photography That putrid “teal orange” bullshit has got to go. Now there are many things I would love to throw away from 2K18 and wish to see very little of in 2K19. We set goals and overall it is a time to “throw away the old and bring in the new.” We wish everybody from family, friends and colleges joy and happiness in the new year. Happy New Year to everybody and with a new year we hope for new and better things in our lives. Location Javitz Center NYC Very lite Teal & Orange LUT applied.
